Product Description

About the Author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exeptional Radio and essential listening, 16 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder in Mesopotamia: Starring John Moffat as Hercule Poirot (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
This is without doubt the best Agatha Christie radio adaption. The cast is excellent especially the principal characters of Nurse Letheran and Poirot. The autobiographical quality of the book (told retrospectivley in the first person) is heightened here: If you listen to it with your eyes closed, you could almost BE in the Middle East! True, the solution is rather silly - but very unexpected (you'll never guess how the murder was committed) but come on, this is a Christie novel: if it's real life you want, go somewhere else!

Buy it, go on, now!

5.0 out of 5 stars my first Christie and I was hooked, 22 Sep 2003
This review is from: Murder in Mesopotamia (Poirot) (Paperback)
This is the first Agatha Christie I ever read and it was enough - I have since read every book and am a big fan. This is the story of a murder at an archeological dig - it's the classic Christie plot where it can only be one of a certain group who committed the murder and you get to know the whole group well through the book. There are the usual red herrings and when you reach the end you wonder how you could have missed the clues showing you who the murdered was - although as she often does there are a few held back until the very end. She misdirects you cleverly so,as usual, you miss what at the end seems obvious. I highly recommend this to all fans or those thinking of trying a Christie for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christie, great as always., 12 April 2001
By kate_crossland@another.com (wouldn't you like to know...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in Mesopotamia (Audio Cassette)
This is one of the first Poirots I heard on tape, and it it truly enjoyable to listen to, as it is all brought to life. It can liven up a car journey or being alone in the house - whatever the occasion, I recommend this tape.
